I had to use them once. Mice got in through the dog door and sneak off with the dog food. They ripped all the insulation out of my oven rendering it useless. I couldn't use any poison because of the dogs. So I put those glue things around and at 4 am my cocker spaniel comes to the side of the bed and I turned on the light and she threw this glue trap down with the dead mouse on in and tuffed her chest out all proud she brought me her kill.

LOL....

I use "The Zapper" for mice that are, where they shouldn't be...
a new pair of boots they were chewing the inside, etc......
A guy I worked with had rats in his barn and they kept a rabbit in a cage in there. He found the rat hole and said he did what they tell you to do and that's pour gasoline down the hole and light a match. Unfortunately, he didn't realize the rats had tunneled to under the bunny cage to steal it's food. So, when he lit the match it caught the hay or whatever it was in the bunny cage and blew that thing sky high off the ground and the kids and wife were screaming, "the Rabbit, you killed the rabbit" so he reached in and grabbed the rabbit by the ears and the thing was smokin' real smoke was coming off of it. They kept it in the bathtub for a few months and he recuperated.

That guy is a danger to himself & the human race......

LMAO, that sounds like a Griswald moment! Poor bunny!

Oh this guy was a trip. There's also the Christmas tree story.
When the kids were little he decided to go to the snowy cold as a mother flatlands of Michigan to a tree farm to cut one down.
They cut one down and he tried to shove it in the back of the station wagon, breaking branches and stuff. It wouldn't fit so he put it on the roof of the car but didn't have enough rope to really secure it. He took off doing about 70 down one of these back roads and the tree blew off the roof of the car and the same time a Semi truck was coming from the opposite direction. The tree got caught in the front grill of the semi which drove it back a mile to the stop sign and when it stopped the tree fell off and the truck ran over it.
So, this guy drives back and gets it shoving it back into the rear end of the station wagon. He got it home and his wife was mortified. He put that tree up by using fishing line on the branches and suspending it from the ceiling. He said, "I paid $50 for that tree and by God we were going to use it."
